  Jessica Holt is running out of choices. Her mother’s condition is worsening, the danger around her is no longer subtle, and loving Kane Ravencourt has become a liability she can’t outrun. Kane crossed a line he can’t take back. He hurt her to protect her, and she doesn’t know how to forgive that. Walking away should be easy, but Kane doesn’t let go of what’s his. His father is tightening his grip, secrets are surfacing, and the cost of defiance is about to be paid. Being with Kane means surrendering control. Running from him means being chased. And this time, Kane isn’t letting her go. Together, they’re caught in a Dark Pursuit. My Review I absolutely love this book. I fell in love with Kane and Jessica even more than I thought I would. They have this undeniable connection that others crave. Kane really fell hard for Jessica, or I should say his "Little Thief". She sure is a thief as she "stole" Kane's heart. Just ask Cash. He had me busting up laughing at eve...

  Jessica’s world is falling apart. Her mother is slipping away. Her brother is unraveling. And every choice she makes pulls her deeper into Bleakmoor’s shadows. She should walk away from Kane Ravencourt. He’s reckless, possessive and consuming. But when he touches her, she forgets why she ever tried to run. Kane has already decided. Jessica is his. She thinks she can stay away. She can’t. Not from him. Jessica is his, no matter what it costs. His father’s threats, his friends’ warnings, her family’s hatred… None of it matters. Because he’ll burn every rule, every enemy, every fucking boundary to keep her. Being noticed by him is dangerous. Being wanted by him is ruin. And together, they’re headed for their Midnight Chase. My Review We are back for more with Jessica and Kane. The connection they share grows stronger and deeper. Ooh and we can't forget all of the spice! "Why are you fighting this? Fighting what? This? What's this? Kane, I don't know what you're talk...

  Jessica Holt’s  only goal is survival. Keep her sick mother alive. Hold her family together. Stay out of the Heights, where power and corruption rule. But one desperate choice changes everything. One trespass. One forbidden touch. One king who refuses to let her go. Kane Ravencourt  isn’t just anyone. He’s Bleakmoor’s heir, raised on money, secrets, and lies. He’s the last person she should provoke. But she did. She stole from him. She tempted the hunter instead of running. And now, she’ll pay the price. Because being noticed by Kane is dangerous. Being wanted by him is deadly. And together, they’re a Fatal Collision. Fatal Collision  is a forbidden rich boy/poor girl, opposites attract romance. For mature readers only. Contains explicit scenes and adult themes. My Review I love Jessica. She is awesome, snarky, and fierce. Not like any of the typical women that Kane has been with in the past. She is a challenge. I absolutely loved the scenes where Jessica had the u...

  There’s no place darker than the mind. They say the asylum is meant to cure the broken. I disagree. Some minds aren’t meant to be healed. The thoughts of certain souls are too tempting, meant to be harvested, studied, and consumed. Like my patient, Weston Carter. From the moment he walked through my doors, young and strong, the devil’s Trojan horse in human skin, I knew he was special. There’s beauty in destruction. The devil has good taste. Carter doesn’t trust me. That’s good. It means he’s wiser than the others. He thinks he can escape this place. Escape  me. But no one leaves without paying the ultimate price. “You’re my favorite patient. I’m not going to hurt you.” Author’s  Lonely  is a horror story with sexually explicit content and adult themes. It contains both MF and MM scenes. Intended for mature audiences only (18+). Reader discretion is strongly advised. My Review Dr. James Stan is a doctor at Wellard Asylum. He is treating Carter.

  His whisper threatens to tear down my defenses. I have it all. Star athlete, popular girlfriend, perfect life. Then Arkin Reeves moves into my bedroom. He’s silent, guarded, and haunted by a past I can’t begin to understand. A past that stole his voice. My parents say he needs a place to stay. I say he’s a nightmare who needs to go. At first, I hate him and the unwelcome emotions he evokes. He watches me. Always quiet, always there. And he has his sights set on me. I thought I could resist this pull between us. This undeniable attraction that gets under my skin and into my thoughts. He won’t stop until I’m his. But I don’t break easily. **A Voice In Chains is a full-length standalone MM romance with a HEA. This story contains sensitive subject matters. My Review Harleigh always knows how to draw me into her world with her books but this one; it is almost impossible to explain how much I LOVED this book. I will try.  Arkin may not speak (his choice) but his body language and ...

Besides giving me stalker vibes, it was also giving my bully. I was drawn into Blaise and Cole's world.  The first close encounter between these two was hot and just the tip of the hotness scale. Each encounter afterwards was HOT. It was made even more so because of the "raw...

  Savannah Imagine my surprise when the chance to interview the country’s most notorious man on death row lands on my table. His final confession. It’s too good of an opportunity to turn down.

  I was forced to make a deal with the devil, well a devil of sorts. One with ulterior motives, all to lead me back to them. The three boys with inky black wings, and hellfire in their eyes. Those same men who introduced me to sin and painted my blank canvas with their own dark desires. I thought I could trust them, but nothing could have prepared me for their betrayal. The secret they hid from me. It led me back here, back to where it all began. Little do they know, there is more to my darkness than any of us could fathom. It has been waiting there, dormant, ready to break free for a long time. They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and I believe it. My Review In the previous book,  Dmitriy, cousin to Daemon was featured more prominently. I grew to like him. So, I was very glad to see him have just as big a part in this book. His presence and feelings that he has for  Aurelia. added another layer to the already complex dynamics between Aurelia,...

Amenadiel made an appearance towards the end of the first book. He i...
